I miss you mommy, I know it’s late to put this on here and I’m sorry. I’m sorry for not telling you enough how much I love you, proud of you and How much I appreciate you. I miss you so much and I’m so lost without you. We all miss you, I wish you would come home now. I need you, I wish you were still here. I know Mawmaw needed you to drink tea with but I don’t understand why so soon.
I love you always mommy- sissy

I love you mom, I’ll always remember the times we had. You were always there for me. You would give anyone the shirt off your back, and had the biggest most loving heart. I’m thankful for the times we spent together, we would go fishing, or hunting, you were always down to do anything as long as you were with me. Even through bad times you always found a way to crack a joke. I’ll never understand why god took you so early. I miss you always, love Boo Boo
